5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf I could give a zero star rating for sunny made and it's principle I would the school is slowly going down hill yr by yr.

Wish they would have given her the principle position and gotten rid of this excuse of a principle Mrs. Smith.Parent Review11y ago - Tilles Elementary School
